Travel Playlist: Mardi Gras in New Orleans

This Mardi Gras playlist will make you feel like you're in New Orleans.

Wander the streets of New Orleans during Mardi Gras and there’s a solid chance you’ll get swept up in a second line, the pack of revelers that trails a parade band as a sort of nomadic legion of les bons temps. Rule 1: Be ready to dance. Rule 2: Know what you’re dancing to. Here we’ve mixed some classic melodies of Fat Tuesday, with a few modern NOLA musical ambassadors—all cut with a little lagniappe to tide you over till next year.
